The last three kingdoms

Chapter 203 Fierce battle at Qingyangpu
"Kill!" Zhuge Zhan looked sternly, held his sword high in his hand, and pointed obliquely to the front left.

"Kill—" the Shu army shouted in unison, the sound of killing shook the sky, the phalanx in front of it began to move, and the heavy steps made solid footprints on the ground. Although it was slow, the power brought by the torrent of steel , but it is unstoppable.

The equipment of the imperial forest army is the best among the Shu army. All the soldiers are dressed in armor, and the dark armor is shining with a faint cold light. Thousands of soldiers are densely arranged in one place, just like a steel forest.The sword and shield soldiers are at the forefront of the line, and the shields are closely connected together without any gaps. Looking from a distance, they form a low wall that shines with metallic luster.The sharp spears of the pikemen protruded from the oblique top of the shield, and the tip of the spear shone with a frightening edge.Behind the sword and shield pikemen are the crossbowmen who have already drawn their bows and bows. The bows are in hand, the arrows are on the strings, and they maintain a 45-degree upward shooting angle. They only wait for the enemy to enter the range of the bows and arrows before firing. .

Behind the archers, there are dozens of ballistas. This kind of ballista is the famous Zhuge Ballista. It shoots ten arrows with amazing power. Although they are marching at the back of the team, they are the first to attack the enemy. weapon.

The formation of the entire Shu army is rigorous, and the steps are neat, like an efficient war machine, rolling forward all the way.

The Wu army on the opposite side accelerated the marching speed. The equipment of the Wu army was obviously lower than that of the Shu army. The degree of armor was uneven. Most of the leather armors were rare, but the light armor obviously had the advantage of light armor. They are much lighter and faster. In terms of numbers, they also have a clear advantage. They are densely packed and look like ants gathering from a distance.

The distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, and the faces of the opposing soldiers were even vaguely seen.

"Launch!" The commander of the Liannu convoy visually estimated that the enemy soldiers had already entered the attack range of the bed crossbow. The attack distance of this kind of bed crossbow was terrible. It can be described as a sharp weapon for killing enemies on the battlefield.

With an order, the Liannumen immediately operated the ballista, and a row of ten huge crossbow arrows roared into the air, making piercing chirping sounds, drawing arcs in the air, and projecting them towards the Wu army formation.

The crossbow bolts of the bed crossbow are different from ordinary bows and arrows. The arrows are flat, like a small shovel. The destructive power of this kind of arrows is astonishing. At a distance of [-] steps, they can easily shoot through the thickened wooden shield. It is no problem for a soldier in heavy armor to be penetrated three or two at the same time.

The attack of Liannu brought some confusion to the Wu army formation. The crossbow arrows easily shot and killed the soldiers in the front row. .

However, for the dense Wu soldiers, no matter how powerful the crossbow arrows are, they cannot cover the entire team. Although soldiers continue to fall, the overall offensive of the Wu army has not diminished, but has a tendency to accelerate. The generals of the Wu army understand that only Entering into hand-to-hand combat, the Shu army's ballista may lose its effectiveness. If it stays still, it will become a living target for the ballista.

The two dense camps moved closer quickly. Once within the range of the bows and arrows, the archers on both sides shot arrows one after another without hesitation. They all seem to be getting darker.

"Swish, swish..." The arrows rained down, and the casualties on both sides began to increase sharply. Wu soldiers who lacked armor protection could only use shields on their heads to resist the torrential rain of arrows, but some arrows were very tricky. He could always find a gap to give Wu soldiers a fatal blow. The further they advanced, the more and more soldiers fell.

The situation on the side of the Shu army is slightly better. With the double protection of iron armor and shields, the casualties of the Shu army can be reduced to a minimum. In the medium and long-distance attacks, the Shu army clearly has the advantage.

Wu Jun also understood their disadvantages, and the fall of Pao Ze did not make them fearful, but accelerated their marching speed. The soldiers in the forefront even trotted all the way, pounced on the Shu army's camp go up.

The two sides quickly entered into a hand-to-hand fight. The Shu army was dressed in crimson uniforms and black armor, and the Wu army was dressed in yellow-brown uniforms. At first they seemed to be distinct, but the black-red torrent and the yellow-brown When the torrents are thoroughly mixed together, it is difficult to distinguish them any more.

The military uniform worn by the army is inseparable from the nature of the five elements of the country. Han is Huode, the uniform of the Shu army is red, and Wu is Tude, and the uniform of the Wu army is yellow-brown.Of course, Wei State is also Tude, but their military uniforms are somewhat different from Wu State. Wu State uses yellowish brown, while Wei State uses dark brown, which will help the two sides to clearly distinguish the enemy from the enemy.

The soldiers on both sides fought desperately as soon as they entered the battle. The sound of shouts, screams, and golden sounds when weapons collided were intertwined, just like a battlefield symphony.However, this symphony sounded much more tragic. Soldiers on both sides stepped forward one after another, and the two torrents of black, red and tan continued to surge forward, merging together on a larger scale, and more soldiers were involved in the melee. The entire plain of Qingyangpu was littered with corpses and blood flowed like rivers.

The vanguard officer Zhuge Shang rode in the lead and rushed to the forefront. He rode a horse as red as coals and wore a red cloak. , but the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, his blood is boiling, a spear flies up and down, unstoppable, rushing left and right in the Wu army formation, beating countless enemies.

Under the leadership of Zhuge Shang, the morale of the generals of the Shu army was high, and they launched round after round of fierce attacks on the Wu army, clearly occupying the upper hand.

"My son is really a young hero!" Zhuge Zhan showed approval after seeing Zhuge Shang's heroic performance at the back of the battle.

Looking at the commander-in-chief flag with the word "Lu" in the Wu army's formation, Zhuge Zhan ordered in a deep voice: "All the troops listen to the order, take advantage of the enemy's decline, and break through the enemy's formation at one go. Qianhuhou!"

When the generals of the Shu army heard about it, everyone was brave and took the lead. Only the Wu army was killed, throwing away their helmets and armor, and their corpses piled up like a mountain.

"Captain, the soldiers of Shu are too powerful, and our army is invincible, so why not retreat for now." General Xue Ying, seeing that the situation was unfavorable, said to Lu Kang.

"Back!" In Lu Kang's eyes, a sharp edge flashed across his eyes, and he ordered in a deep voice.
